We will be holding ‘Open Field’ time for the girls before the tryout to give them extra time to prepare. July 8, 15, & 22. We will be at the field from 3:30- 5:30. This will be a great time to prepare for the tryout.

Tryouts will be held on 7/28, from 3:30-5:30. Concluding the final tryout on 7/29, we will make calls to notify you if your daughter has made the team or not.
